Golden Globes 2025 recap: Biggest moments from the 82nd annual awards show

"Emilia Pérez" won the Golden Globe for best motion picture (musical or comedy).

The film, directed by Jacques Audiard, tells the story of a transgender former Mexican cartel leader, the titular Emilia Pérez, played by Karla Sofía Gascón.

Speaking from the stage following the film's win, Gascón said, "The light always wins over darkness."

"I have a lot of things to say to you. You can maybe put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you can never take away our soul, our existence, our identity. And I want to say to you, raise your voice, and freedom, and say 'I am who I am, not who you want." said Gascón, who is transgender. "I want to say to you, raise your voice."

Other nominees in the category included "Anora," "Challengers," "A Real Pain," "The Substance" and "Wicked."

"The Brutalist" won the Golden Globe for best motion picture (drama).

"I am incredibly moved," director Brady Corbet said while accepting the award.

"I was told that this film was un-distributable. I was told that no one would come out and see it. I was told the film wouldn't work," he continued. "And I don't resent that, but I want to use this as an opportunity to lift up filmmakers. Not just my fellow nominees, but all the extraordinary directors in this room. Films don't exist without the filmmakers. Please, let's support them. Let's prop them up."

Other nominees in the category included "A Complete Unknown," "Conclave," "Dune: Part Two," "Nickel Boys" and "September 5."

Adrien Brody won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for "The Brutalist."

"I am deeply humbled by this," Brody said in his acceptance speech.

Brody said the film's story is "very reminiscent" of his mother's and his ancestors' "journey of fleeing the horrors of war and coming to this great country."

"I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice, and although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope that this work stands to lift you up a bit and to give you a voice. I'm so grateful. I will cherish this moment forever. Thank you."

This is Brody's first Golden Globe win.

Other nominees in the category included Timothée Chalamet for "A Complete Unknown," Daniel Craig for "Queer," Colman Domingo for "Sing Sing," Ralph Fiennes for "Conclave" and Sebastian Stan for "The Apprentice."

Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (drama) for "I'm Still Here."

"This is such an amazing year for female performances," Torres said in her acceptance speech.

She also dedicated the award to her mother saying, "She was here 25 years ago, and this is proof that art can endure through life, even in difficult moments like this."

Torres said the film, which is based on Marcelo Rubens Paiva's 2015 memoir "Ainda Estou Aqui," teaches "how to survive in tough times like this."

This is Torres' first Golden Globe win and her first nomination.

Other nominees in the category included Pamela Anderson for "The Last Showgirl," Angelina Jolie for "Maria," Nicole Kidman for "Babygirl," Tilda Swinton for "The Room Next Door" and Kate Winslet for "Lee."
